Equation [](https://travis-ci.org/mdibaiee/Equation.js)
|
|
========
|
|
Solve math expressions or create equations for repeated and complex Math tasks.
|
|
|
|
To use in browser, download [`equation.min.js`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdibaiee/Equation/master/equation.min.js).
|
|
|
|
Install using npm:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install equations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
####Examples:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// solve
|
|
console.log(Equation.solve('4 * lg(4) ^ 3')); // 32
|
|
|
|
// equation
|
|
let sphereArea = Equation.equation('4 * PI * r^2');
|
|
console.log(sphereArea(5)); // 314.1592653589793
|
|
|
|
let test = Equation.equation('2x + 6y');
|
|
console.log(test(4, 3)).to.equal(8 + 18);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also register your own operators and constants.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// these options are explained in [`operators.js`](https://github.com/mdibaiee/Equation/blob/master/lib/operators.js).
|
|
Equation.registerOperator('$', {
|
|
fn: a => 1/a,
|
|
format: '10',
|
|
precedence: 2
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
Equation.solve('$2'); // 0.5
|
|
Equation.solve('$5'); // 0.2
|
|
|
|
Equation.registerConstant('N', () => {
|
|
return Math.random() * 10 + 10
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
Equation.solve('N'); // a number between 10 and 20
|
|
|
|
// Complex operators
|
|
Equation.solve('sigma(0, 5, 2@ + 5)'); // 60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a list of operators and constants see [`operators.js`](https://github.com/mdibaiee/Equation/blob/master/lib/operators.js) and [`constants.js`](https://github.com/mdibaiee/Equation/blob/master/lib/constants.js).

API
|
|
===
|
|
####solve(expression: String)
|
|
Takes a math expression and evaluates it, returning the result.
|
|
|
|
####equation(expression: String)
|
|
Takes a math expression containing variables, returning a function which
|
|
replaces the variables with given arguments, and solves the expression.
|
|
|
|
####registerOperator(key: String, options: Object)
|
|
Registers a new operator.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
#####fn
|
|
The function which is run on arguments and returns the result
|
|
#####format
|
|
The format which specifies how arguments are placed relative to operator, this is a string in which 1 represents the operator and zeroes represent arguments.
|
|
|
|
For example `+` has the format `010` and factorial has `01`.
|
|
#####precedence
|
|
Specifies the precedence of operator. The less the value, the higher the precedence, resulting in sooner execution.
|
|
|
|
####registerConstant(key: String, value: Function/Number)
|
|
Registers a new constant. value can be a function (takes no arguments), or a constant number.
|
|
|
|
That's right, we have named these *constants* but they actually can change, that's why we can use functions to define them. An example is the `RAND` constant which calls `Math.random`.

Contributing
|
|
============
|
|
The code is commented and I hope you don't have a hard time contributing,
|
|
anyway, some tips about contributing:
|
|
|
|
The source code is in `lib` directory and is then transpiled into `dist`.
|
|
|
|
#####Grunt Tasks
|
|
######default
|
|
Transpiles `lib` to `dist`
|
|
######build
|
|
Transpiles, browserifies, uglifies
|
|
######eslint
|
|
Runs ESLint on `lib` and `tests`
|
|
######test
|
|
Runs the tests
|
|
|

|
|
Please make sure to run `grunt eslint` before commiting.
|
|
|
|
If you're adding something new, please add a test, too.
